Fox News is now the porn police - Page 4

Because actually, no one wrote about it online. It's just something I saw on the screen, and didn't think to comment on, and frankly forgot until now...but it's not the first time someone's gone after Craigslist, and I think it's ridiculous.

NBC was no better attacking them the other day.

This is not journalism.

I think also one distinct difference is that Fox sent a threat. That makes it even slimier.

Where are you seeing this threat? The article reads to me that Fox was in the middle of asking the donators if they knew what was on wikipedia when wikipedia to it upon itself to clean house.

If foxnews really wants to "protect the children" they could just edit the pages themselves.

As for the children, stick their little punk asses in the library. Slap em with some good old fashioned index cards.

"Wanna research for your little paper...your gonna have to read every fucking book on the subject untill you get the info you need!!"

Just like we used to do.
dumbass kids. No wonder you are getting dumber by the minute. You don't know how to work for anything.

fuckers

I'm going to go post a penis up a random wiki page now.

How twisted of you to characterize it as "asking donators", when it's effectively extortion by threat of sensationalism.

Why even have news organizations if you are going to neuter them, so they can't ask probing questions? Where's the freedom in that?

If wikipedia is ok with the content of their site, then they shouldn't care if someone probes their content.

I agree, wikipedia should never be allowed as a valid source for research.

Running to contributors with leading questions masquerading as "asking probing questions"?

Fox News. I can't believe you're defending this shit.

Because I am not eccentrically biased about the station as you are about the station. Your opinion is basically worthless because if they were doing a piece on watching paint dry you would still have a problem with it. We get it, you hate fox news. Time to move on.

as much as I dislike the utter crap they have up on foxnews, this wiki thing is more pay the bills sensationalism than Foxnewsisms.

However, I haven't read anything else on the issue besides the link provided.
